I-539, Application to Extend/Change
Nonimmigrant Status
Use this application if you are one of the nonimmigrants listed below and wish to apply to U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an extension of stay or a change to another
nonimmigrant status.
You may also use this application if you are a nonimmigrant F-1 or M-1 student applying for
reinstatement.
Currently, you may only file Form I-539, Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status online if
you are filing for yourself.
If you are applying for an extension of stay or change of status, you generally must submit your
application before your current authorized stay expires. Generally, even if USCIS approves your
request, you must file a Form I-539 to “bridge” any gap between the expiration of your current status
and start of the validity of your future status. If you are applying for J-1 or M-1 nonimmigrant status,
see the specific instructions below about bridging status gaps.
We suggest you file at least 45 days, but generally not more than 6 months, before your stay expires.
Failure to file before the expiration date may be excused if you demonstrate when you file the
application that:
The delay was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond your control;
The length of the delay was reasonable;
You have not otherwise violated your status;
You are still a bona fide nonimmigrant; and
You are not in removal proceedings.

 Online filing is only available for certain applicants
At this time, you cannot file online if you:
Have additional applicants
Have an A,G, NATO, V, T, or U nonimmigrant status
You must file a paper Form I-539 offline.



Before You Start Your Application


Eligibility

You may be eligible to apply for an extension of stay or change of status if:
You were lawfully admitted into the United States with a nonimmigrant visa;
Your nonimmigrant visa status remains valid;
You have not committed any crimes that make you ineligible for a visa;
You have not violated the conditions of your admission; and
Your passport is valid and will remain valid for the duration of your stay.
If your nonimmigrant status is based on the fact that you are a family member or
dependent of an individual who has already been granted nonimmigrant status, then you
must file your application while that individual continues to maintain a valid
nonimmigrant status. Family members and dependents are limited to the same period of
authorized stay as the principal immigrant.
You may not be granted an extension or change of status if you were admitted under the
Visa Waiver Program or if your current status is:
Applicants requesting status as a principal temporary worker or requesting to
extend status as a principal temporary worker. Such applications may be rejected
or denied without refund;
An alien in transit (C) or in transit without a visa (TWOV);
A crewman (D); or
A fiancé(e) or dependent of a fiancé(e) (K-1 or K-2).
A spouse (K-3) of a U.S. citizen and his or her children (K-4) may not change to another
nonimmigrant status.

Exception: K-3 and K-4 nonimmigrants are eligible to apply for an extension of status

during the processing of Form I-130 filed on their behalf and up to completion of their
adjustment-of-status or immigrant visa application.

Note: All nonimmigrant classifications may not change status to K-3 or K-4.
Note: You can file Form I-907, Request for Premium Processing Service, if you are filing
Form I-539 for a nonimmigrant classification that is eligible for premium processing. If
you request premium processing, we will present Form I-907 for you to complete a er
you sign Form I-539. This will allow you to pay for and submit both forms at the same
time.
 Fee

We will automatically calculate the cost for you before you submit your application,
including any exceptions to the fees that may apply in your case. For specific information
about fees applicable to this form, see Form G-1055.
Learn more about filing a fee waiver.
Refund policy: USCIS does not refund fees, regardless of any action we take on your
application, petition, or request, or how long USCIS takes to reach a decision. By
continuing this transaction, you acknowledge that you must submit fees in the exact
amount and that you are paying the fees for a government service.



Documents you may need
Most applicants will be required to submit:
Form I-94, Nonimmigrant Arrival-Departure Record
We will automatically determine which documents you should provide us as you fill out
your application. At the time of filing, you must submit all evidence and supporting
documentation listed.



Biometric services appointment
USCIS may require you to appear for an interview or provide biometrics (fingerprints,
photograph, and/or signature) at any time to verify your identity, obtain additional
information, and conduct background and security checks, including a check of criminal
history records maintained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), before making a
decision on your application or petition. If we determine that a biometric services
appointment is necessary, we will send you an appointment notice with the date, time,
and location of your appointment. If you are currently overseas, your notice will instruct
you to contact a U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, or USCIS office outside the United States
to schedule an appointment.
At your biometrics appointment, you must sign an oath reaffirming that:
You provided or authorized all information in the application;
You reviewed and understood all of the information contained in, and submitted
with, your application; and
All of this information was complete, true, and correct at the time of filing.
If you do not attend your biometric services appointment, we may deny your application.

Language access
USCIS ensures that individuals with limited English proficiency (LEP) have meaningful
access to USCIS services. Individuals with LEP may bring a qualified interpreter to the
interview. USCIS considers requests for language assistance on a case-by-case basis, and
we will make a reasonable effort to provide you with a qualified interpreter.

Disability accommodations

To request a disability accommodation:
1. Go to www.uscis.gov/accommodations to make your request online, or
2. Call the USCIS Contact Center at 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833) for help in
English or Spanish. Asylum and NACARA 203 applicants must call to make their
request.
If you need a sign language interpreter, make your request as soon as you receive your
appointment notice. The more advance notice we have of your accommodation request,
the better prepared we can be and less likely we will need to reschedule your
appointment. For information about disability accommodations visit www.uscis.gov/
accommodationsinfo.


Translations
If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a
full English translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language
translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the
foreign language into English. The certification must include their signature, printed
name, the signature date, and their contact information.

is collected under the Immigration and Nationality Act sections 1103 and 1184, and Title 8 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 103, 214, and 248.

PURPOSE: The primary purpose for providing the requested information is to determine if

provide to grant or deny the immigration benefit you are seeking.

DISCLOSURE: The information you provide is voluntary. However, failure to provide the

requested evidence, may delay a final decision or result in denial of the beneficiaryʼs benefit
request.

additional requested evidence with other Federal, state, local, and foreign government
agencies and authorized organizations. DHS follows approved routine uses described in the
associated published system of records notices [DHS/USCIS-001 - Alien File, Index, and

eligibility for an immigration benefit.
Subject to the restrictions under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(16), USCIS will provide you with an
